Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Danny Goodman has repeatedly proven himself an excellent teacher of programming languages, and this latest edition of JavaScript Bible reinforces his reputation. If you're familiar with HTML and want to endow your pages with the kind of animation and interactivity that JavaScript can provide, this book is the best one you can buy.

Goodman covers the JavaScript 1.2 language comprehensively, and focuses on developing documents that fully exploit the capabilities of Netscape Navigator 4.0x. The author begins with the fundamentals of the language--variables, loops, data structures, functions, and the like. Then, he proceeds to systematically explore the more difficult characteristics of the language, including its limited object-orientation features and the extensions that apply to Dynamic HTML (DHTML). Server-side coverage is sparse, but that technology isn't nearly as widely used as client-side JavaScript.

JavaScript Bible contains both a tutorial and a reference, so it's useful to advanced JavaScript programmers as well as to beginners. Plus, the illustrative examples included in these pages--and on the accompanying CD-ROM--are generally useful. You'll find image-rollover routines, client-side database lookups, a DHTML puzzle, and many more programs that you'll be able to quickly adapt to your own projects. JavaScript Bible is a winner. --David Wall

All I was looking for and more

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 1999

Verified Purchase

I was overwhelmed by the selection of books on JavaScript, each 1,000+ pages and supposedly "the complete. . ." "the comprehensive. . .", etc. I looked at the various choices in bookstores, and eventually threw in my lot with Goodman's "Bible". I didn't regret it. Not only is the book great for learning JavaScript step by step, but it's well organized enough to use purely as a reference once you have a handle on the language. There may be more complete manuals, but I'm convinced that this is the best compromise between tutorial and reference. At this point, however, the time is definitely ripe for a 4th edition.

I use this book a lot

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2000

Verified Purchase

With a couple of hours of HTML, this book (ed 3) is immediately useful. I have now been using it for about a year which speaks for itself. It is good as an HTML supplement too. I liked the examples many of which helped my real world 'on the job' needs. eg. field edits. Compatability notes for each command were useful as were the work arounds for older IE and Netscape browsers. Also introduced me to Javascript debugger - a very useful tool. Good index. Down Side? A little out of date now. I needed other sources for Style Sheets (HTML) and Layers and the IE equivalent. This is still the best book I have on Javascript.

Best book in my library

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 1999

Verified Purchase

This book is much more than just a Javascript language reference. It covers dynamic HTML and the document object model in-depth and much better than any dynamic HTML books I own. The author explains things very clearly with great examples - he actually explains the code rather than just including it for you to wade through. I could sit down and read the book like a novel. This book is indispensable, I use it constantly. Whenever I can't find an answer anywhere else, I always find it here. If I could own only one book for web development, this would be it.

Difficult to follow

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2001

Verified Purchase

I'm a frustrated beginner at Javascript. This book is part of what frustrated me. It's not very clear, with not enough examples and not enough details all at the same time. Much later, after I put down this book in frustration, I picked up WROX press' "Beginning Javascript," which I find much easier to follow. If only I had started with that book instead of this one!

Overall a Good beginners-intermediate level javascript book

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2001

Verified Purchase

Overall a very good book for beginners. If you are a web designer then it's better to get a thin book like javascript visually or something that gives you the code without explaining much. If you are more involved in web application programming, and need to understand javascript for custom programming, then this book is a perfect fit. Easy to read, good clear examples, and an overall good reference.

Best JavaScript reference out there

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2000

Verified Purchase

I think the title of the book (and of this review) says it all. Danny Goodman has scored a home run with this book. As a JavaScript developer, I am constantly refering to this book, and have never been disappointed.
I have to say though, that although it is very comprehensive, I often use it in conjunction with "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide" from O'Reilly.
"The JavaScript Bible" should give you all the help you will want, but if you get both of these books, you'll definitely have everything you need!

Great for a developer..not so great for a newbie

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2001

If you are totally new to programming (like I was) this book will not in itself be the one for you. I have recently purchased an other book (JavaScript in 24 hours) which i luckily read first. It's a bit high level for a newbie delving into the core aspects of JS. If you have minimal knowledge you may to be able to get by. My suggestion to people who have purchased this book and find it overwhelming is to keep it on the shelf. When this book is aided by a lower level intro book (such as JavaScript in 24 hours) you will have little troubles understanding the basics of OOM.
From a web designers perspective (which I am) This book will not offer the latest and greatest tricks to make the world wow at your latest creation. BUT it will lay a great foundation to which you will easily be able to add other scripting languages to your portfolio.
It's kind of like that medicine your mom made you take as a kid....it tastes awful but works.
